    Hi All,

    I'm pretty new to Parallels and I'm getting some intermittent networking issues. All was working fine, ran windows update and now whenever I start the VM I have "Unidentified network - Limited" message and the dreaded yellow exclamation mark.

    I haven't changed any Parallels settings between boots.

    Running ipconfig shows:

    no default gateway address ...

    Running:

    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew

    Fails saying that it cannot connect to the DHCP server. All the other machines on the network - 2 x Win7 boxes, the host MAC (2.4ghz MBP Retina), an iPhone and an Android phone are fine ...

    Last time this happened, I rebooted and everything was fine again.

    I've got the Parallels set up to use a Bridged Network and I've had it set to Wi-Fi. No idea what to try next ... :(

    TIA,

    Jammer
